The largest builder of modifieds in the US is former driver Maynard Troyer, who (after retiring in 1982) set up shop and in the 1980s was turning out 100 asphalt modifieds annually. All of these cars sport small NASCAR or ASA stickers on the doors. The driver sits on the left side of the car, and most of the time will have some type of small plastic windshield in front of him or her. The roofs of these cars are more rounded than the other types of modifieds, their bodies look somewhat squashed, and have large, 8-inch-high (200 mm), Lexan spoilers on the rear of the cars. These modifieds sit on large slick tires that are exposed on all four corners of the car. Both of the sanctioning bodies (NASCAR and ASA) listed here use the same rules, but do not race on the same tracks. These modifieds are found mostly in the eastern half of the US.
